Lawrence Williams of New Port Richey, Florida got a call last night saying that his company credit card had been recovered from US-19 - and that’s when he realized, with a glance in his rear-view mirror, that it wasn’t the item stolen from his car on Saturday night.

The thief stole all five of his RC vehicles and radio - and he contacted LiveRC looking for help to get it back. Here’s a list of what’s missing:

Tekno RC EB48.3 with Hobbywing XR8 ESC, Tekin 2050Kv motor, Savöx 1268 servo and brand new set of JConcepts Detox tires
Tekno RC NB48.3 with Novarossi Beat BT5 engine, two Savöx 1268 servos, and old set of AKA Enduros on yellow rims
Tekno RC ET48.3 with Hobbywing XR8 ESC, Tekin 2250Kv motor, Savöx 2274 servo and brand new set of JConcepts Subcultures
Tekno RC SCT410.3 with Hobbywing SCT Pro ESC and 4700Kv motor, Savöx 2259 servo and brand new set of AKA Enduros
HB Racing D413 with Hobbywing 120A ESC, Team Orion 6.5-turn motor and Savöx 1256 servo
Futaba 4PX transmitter

All five vehicles had Futaba receivers installed. The two 1/8-scale buggies also had MyLaps personal transponders mounted. Only the nitro buggy and 1/10-scale 4WD buggy had bodies on them. Williams filed a police report

Anyone with information on the crime or whereabouts of the items listed are encouraged to contact Williams via Facebook, or the New Port Richey Police Department at (727) 841-4550.
